Combination Knitting: Knit Flat English Style
In this knitting tutorial, I demonstrate my favorite fix for wonky ribbing! This has become my go-to method for nice tidy columns, and works well in both English & Continental style knitting.
To work this method, you will simply wrap the working yarn under the needle tip when purling, instead of over the top. By wrapping the yarn around the needle underneath, it uses an amount of yarn that is more similar to the knit stitch, creating a more even tension across a row/round that utilizes both knits and purls.
Take note that wrapping the yarn underneath the stitch, will create a twisted stitch. So when you next work that stitch on the next row, you just simply knit it thru the back loop!

I am so glad that you did this video. I found combination knitting a while back and just love it. For all those who don’t like purling you will this way and it looks so much better.
Oh - maybe combination knitting will help me keep my linen stitch projects flatter, and eliminate the "ridge" that sometimes forms if I don't pay special attention to tugging on my purl stitches to ensure they aren't "bigger" than the knit stitches?! Love your tutorials, and appreciate how much time, energy and expertise you put into them!
Amazing! Wish I had seen this earlier because I I’ve always struggled trying to make my ribbing neater. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
I think that this is amazing. My friend always does twisted rib. Her mother taught her that way. It's a much neater finish. Thank you so much.
I've wondered why you would want to combination knit. Thanks for explaining why it's useful in addition to the how!
This is genius! I have always just pulled my purl stitches after a knit stitch a bit tighter…doesn’t work as well as this to get rid of that extra yarn!🎉
Great tutorial and explanation of why the twist occurs.
Grteat tuto !
Thank you Andrea ❤
Thank you, Andrea!
Do you have any videos for how to do decreases in combination knitting?
Thanks Andrea! How does combination knitting affect a tubular bind off? Will everything get a twist back first when I do my slipped stitch rows? Do I have to do the Kitchener stitch differently? Thanks!
